In a special interview to CNBC, billionaire Warren Buffett says that the US is indeed in a recession. But he also says that it is perhaps not as bad as it was in the 1970s. Warren Buffett, Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway, said the US is indeed in a recession. "However, it is perhaps not as bad as the 1970s." “It is nothing like 1973-74 yet. That doesn’t mean it couldn’t be. But in 1973-74, we had this stagflation situation and really had a meltdown in equity prices. Really good companies got down to 3 and 4 times earnings. So, nothing like that has happened in this situation. But in 1973-74, at some point, it didn’t look like it had happened either.

Bonds are appropriate any time you cannot tolerate the short-term volatility of the stock marketOver recent months the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has increased the cash rate by 50 basis points from 4.75% to 5.25%. For many people, this will not only affect their mortgage repayments, but also their return on Bonds and Hybrid Securities listed on the ASX.As interest rates rise, the market value of fixed Interest Rate Securities (Bonds and Hybrids) falls. This is a result of buyers moving away from issues at old rates and taking up new issues at the higher interest rates.Current holders of fixed interest securities also tend to move out of their holdings seeking these new higher rates of return. Consequently as the demand for old fixed interest securities decreases and their supply increases, their market price tends to fall.What Are Bonds?A bond is a debt security, similar to an I.O.U.
